That's Some Team-Building Exercise

[A Boy Named Seo]

Zimmo, apparently still sporting a raging boner over shark fishing, posted another pic on instagram today, this time featuring he and his lovely bride giving the ol' thumbs up as they hover over a shark he caught.

The caption on this probably read something like, "Praise ye, baby Jesus, for giving us these beautiful creatures we can yank out of their environment because, golly-gee, it sure is fun."



He then linked to the page of the company who took the team out, hyping a video they made of the team outing. When you get to their page, you're greeting by a pic featuring Harvey, who of of course looks like a huge dildo, along with Mickey and the dude who runs the fishing company.

The caption for this one actually reads:

blacktiph Double header blacktips with @Mets pitcher Matt Harvey and manager Mickey Callaway. The bite was insane, we hooked a blacktip shark every five minutes!! All sharks were released. Video goes live tonight! #blacktiph #fishing #shark #mets #mlb #baseball #sharkfishing #beach #florida #doubleheader #landbased #catchandrelease #froggtoggs #ceuticore #finandfield

I still might not choose shark fishing as my first entertainment option, but as a pretty harsh critic of this shit, I was glad to read they released all the sharks anyway.



Here's the vid, which includes an awkward few moments where Td'A, Harvey, and Plawecki all stand with their arms around one another for a strangely long time, like they posed for a photo, then just kept posing. I didn't see Donny Jr.'s face in the vid anywhere, so there's one less thing that could make ya sick.

Wait - so the company says "all sharks were released"? If so, I really dont have much of an issue with it.

I'm with you Seo, no interest in doing it myself, but I don't mind others catching and releasing (or catching and eating any non endangered species) - its the "catch it and waste it" that bothers me.

Yes, the caption on that Mickey/Harvey pic says all the sharks were released. In the vid, shark guy explains that that particular area where they fished is a hot-bed for shark activity. Also, Sandy Alderson was in the group, so whether this was Mickey's idea or it wasn't, the boss being there is a pretty clear approval. Kinda glad I don't hate the Mets over this anymore.

The manager being there counts as "team apptoved activity" in my book, even if the GM isn't there.

Yes, kids who grow up hunting shit like hunting shit.

Glad to learn that the sharks were ultimately released. So long as the sharks were released, I don't really have a problem with it.
